Kenya is seeking to delay hearings in The Hague before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding a dispute with neighbouring Somalia over their mutual maritime boundary.
Proceedings were scheduled to commence on 9 September, and the ICJ was due to deliver its decision on 19 September.
“Due to exceptional circumstances occasioned by the need to recruit a new defence team, Kenya has sought to have the matter postponed,” a statement issued on 3 September in Nairobi by Attorney-General Kihara Kariuki read.
